Hi,
I am new to the boards, this topic is in search some advice.
The Champion Comics #3 below has a good bit of tape on it. I get the spine because it is completely detached... I'm scratching my head about the other three pieces in the bottom right corner area.
The largest of those three pieces (approx. 3" long) is covering two small - less than 1/4" tears. The diagonal piece is over a bend that isn't ripped, and the third around his shoulder just appears to have been put on there for the sake of putting it on. I think all three on the bottom corner were preventative measures perhaps.
My question is, in your opinion, would a professional tape removal in these three areas help the grade of the book? Do you think it would be worth the price of the service? I don't plan to sell the book any time soon but the tape does frustrate me.
Thanks. I appreciate your time.
